The Impasse

The other day I came home from work to find that one of the dogs had peed on the bed. This is not usual for them, they are pretty well potty trained and I couldn’t figure out why in the world they would pee right smack dab in the middle of the bed when they knew better. Then Jordan realized what happened...

The cats love to trap the puppies. These kitties of ours know that the dogs prefer not to cross the cats’ path if they can help it, and so will lie strategically where they can cut the dogs off from the rest of the house. For example, a casual sprawl in a doorway won’t let the pup out of the room without engaging the cat first, and apparently the dogs aren’t willing/able/courageous enough to do that. A particular favorite game is to hide under the bed next to the area where the pups climb onto the bed, and slash out a paw at the most opportune moment. We think that the cats imprisoned Bella on the bed until her teeny tiny bladder could no longer hold out.

Bless her miniature heart.

I have photographic evidence of Kea's most favorite game...
